This weekend I will print “the thing”, otherwise known as 101 pages of thesis. It’s been proofed to within an inch of its life, in terms of spelling and grammar. Moreover, the copyright issue is now resolved. You may remember that I had concerns about “handing” copyright to the University, as their guidelines seemed to […]

The thesis is drafted. Once again I’m in a quandary about how to share some of it before it gets marked, for fear of being accused of cheating (either from myself or because someone uses something). So i’m going to use my old trick of static pictures of some of the text, and ask you […]

If you’re not British you may not understand the title. Sorry about that. Here’s a hint at the explanation: Yes, it’s sad but true, that it feels like Friday… I’m working on the to-be-proofed draft now. That means I have a draft (currently called Version 10f) that’s in grey text. Chunk by chunk I’m copying […]

I just redrafted the first paragraph of the Research Focus section of the Introduction. It now says this: “The aim of this study is to provide organisational leaders with an understanding of the term “organisational resilience” and how it is achieved.

While the respondents have kindly been ticking boxes and so on, I’ve written up my chapter on research methodology. I couldn’t share any of that while the survey was out there because it might have compromised the study. (Well, […]

I’ve closed the questionnaire for Resilience Departments! It was the smaller survey, added at the last minute to answer some questions my literature review could not. I got enough responses to provide the data I need and so it was time to close it so I can download the data. Hooray! The Organisational Leadership for […]

Finding enough people to respond to the survey is proving extremely tricky. I’m so going for the “convenience” sample option! I’ve sent emails to everyone I know asking them if they’d forward it on to anyone they know who qualifies for each survey. Every request us accompanied by the qualifying questions; though I can filter […]

I have 2 questionnaires on SurveyMonkey. I urgently need qualifying people to respond. Can you – or perhaps one of your clients/network – help? Might you be able to send them the link? The key questionnaire is for Organisational Leaders; the subsidiary one is for people working in ‘resilience’ departments. There are criteria, and because […]

I didn’t find this one. With thanks to Ned Powley, here’s a link to a journal with an issue dedicated to creating resilient SMEs. I’ll be having a look, but as the primary research surveys have been piloted and are almost ready to launch, in terms of this study, I’m secretly hoping there’s nothing too […]
